Ending Mermaids

Having to stand up and talk for a ten minute presentation was very nerve racking. I have not had very much experience in making speeches and have not presented anything in about a year. Standing in front of people and having a lot of focus on me is not my idea of a good time. Dr. Lorenzen made the situation very comfortable and I was able to meet the ten minute requirement and even pass it! I feel like it went really well and had a lot of good information to share. This week I will continue to finish up some writing and start majorly editing and fixing my in paper citations. It's been a good quarter of research!
